History of Freeride: Episode 2 ? 70?s Chamonix

After the immense pleasure that we all got from episode 1 of History of Freeride, episode 2 is here to keep that pleasure going. We found out the history of the Hot Doggers and their ridiculous technique that was the basis for quite a lot of the freestyle tricks these days. Of course a lot of them were never going to have longevity but we should be thankful for that. So moving away from the Hot Doggers, we look towards 70&#8242;s Chamonix and the last 30 years of freeride sports. We see the beginning of the freeride movement in Chamonix where moustaches and impressive 70&#8242;s ski suites were all the rage.

Here&#8217;s episode 2 of the History of Freeride thanks to Perfect Moment. This WILL make you want to grow an awful 70&#8242;s moustache so don&#8217;t say I didn&#8217;t warn you!

Thanks to Nuit de la Glisse&#8217;s original Director, Dick Barrymore for the Footage.
